DoD officials deleted the retweet almost immediately, but not before it was seen by many of the account’s 5.2 million followers.

The original tweet had been posted by a user with the handle ProudResister, and their account links to a website selling anti-Trump T-shirts. The tweet criticized the Republicans’ response to sexual assault allegations against Trump, Senator Al Franken, and Roy Moore. In addition to Trump’s resignation, the post demanded that Franken resign and Moore end his Senate race.

"Roy Moore: Step down from the race. Al Franken: Resign from congress. Donald Trump: Resign from the presidency. GOP: stop making sexual assault a partisan issue. It's a crime as is your hypocrisy," ProudResister's tweet read.

While all three political figures have been accused of sexual assault or harassment, the allegations against Trump have largely been ignored by the administration. Trump has been accused of sexually assaulting 17 women before the 2016 presidential election, but the White House has insisted the allegations are false and that the women are “liars.”

Dana White, spokesperson for the Defense Department, tweeted that an “authorized operator” of the Twitter account had “erroneously retweeted content that would not be endorsed by the Department of Defense. The operator caught this error and immediately deleted it.”
